South Korea sent troops to recover the individual, but failed and observed the person cross the border through the heavily fortified demilitarized zone.
An unidentified South Korean made a rare defection to the North after making a daring escape through the heavily fortified demilitarized zone, South Korean military officials said on Sunday.
The South sent troops to recover the individual, but failed and observed the person cross the border. The defector dodged an estimated 2 million landmines inside and near the 155-mile-long, 2.5-mile-wide strip, which is also guarded by barbed wire fences, anti-tank traps and combat troops on both sides.
